and one more question, is Nusron Wahid(Hubungan antar lembaga) the same as Nusron Wahid, the former DPR member from Golkar? If that's true, I damn really surprised. How can??? I know him, I know his brother. He used to come to Jogja.

Yes, Nusron Wahid is still a DPR member. He is originally from Kudus and a friend of Hariyanto Arby, Eddy Hartono, etc. [who are also from Kudus]... He volunteered for the job, with the very intention ensuring that enough fund will flow to PBSI from Indonesia's APBN [national budget]...

Congrats to Pak Gita, officially elected as the new head of PBSI yesterday, winning 21 - 2 against 'that guy'. Good luck, sir. It's rough and tough way ahead.

Ah, apparently, from what I've read, 'that guy' wasn't quite happy about the election method, which was.... well, let's just say it, pretty much "Indonesian style". Better keep the detail off the record.

To be exact, Pak Gita won 31-2, not 21-2

No no, that advertisement was not a mere congratulations message, but a vivid message of endorsement by 30 provinces + 1 vote from the old PBSI management for Pak Gita... Many people in the public do not know that Pak Gita won over 'that guy' in a lopsided manner. 'That guy' is still clamoring that he got cheated in the election voting... Well, it is not even close...

What is important is that Rexy Mainaky will have full control on which player to be recruited to Pelatnas as long as they are competent.
News also points out that even young players can enter and be trained in Pelatnas there is no age limitation, given the competency meets the requirement. Players who has achieve a good result will be given better incentives rather than players that don't.

I do hope that this new PBSI start to give target for coaches to improve physicality of ALL players. Remove some fats. Really. This should be relatively easier. Next, the harder part coaches and managers will need to work on mentality and concentration of ALL players.

More news from PBSI website, Basri Yusuf, who once coached Arbi, Fung, Sigit will come back to be PBSI coach. He also has coached LCW together with Misbun.

Pak Basri will not be a PBSI coach. His job is as Director of Development, meaning: his responsibility is to grow the number of players nationwide and do his best to give them good basic skills before they can continue and be recruited to one of Indonesia's 6 de-facto 'Centers of Excellence' [the big clubs: Jaya Raya, Djarum, Tangkas, SGS, Mutiara, and Suryanaga]... and in the future, hopefully Indonesia will have 12 'Centers of Excellence' all around the country...
